Three types of people you meet at the neighborhood pools.
The first is the "blue haired bobbers". These people, generally ladies, stand around in a circle gabbing with each other, gently bobbing up and down but not so rigorously as to mess up their hair.
The second is the "walkers". These are people, men and women alike, who walk back and forth across the pool unmindful of any others. They pay no attention to the bobbers (above) and are oblivious to the third group (below), the lappers, who cannot see ahead of themselves. There are often collisions between the walkers and the lappers. The walkers think it is the lappers fault. The lappers are speechless as to the obliviousness of the walkers.
The third is the "lappers". These are people, both men and women, who feel they are not quite as athletic as that needed to participate in the sports pools so they do their laps in the neighborhood pools. These folks, for the most part could care less about the bobbers (above) and are fearful that the walkers will bump into them or that they might bump into the walkers and be touched or touch the other in inappropriate places.
I do not mention a potential fourth group since these are found in the family pools where frivolity is the name of the game.
I hope this categorization clears up any misconception of the people one can see at the neighborhood adult pools.
